    Nested Content List datatype

    Nested Content Feedback
    Umbraco 7

    Hi,

    In the docs it is stated that checkboxlist doesnt work as a nested content type. I tried to workaround this by using a Multinode contentpicker but that doesnt work either.

    Does anyone have found a way to implement a selectable list within nested content?

    Everytime i try to use this

    var x =  nestedcontentItem.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("alias")

    it just returns null.

    Hi Peter,

    Have you tried returning an int array from the Nested Content? I'm just wondering whether you have the property converters installed or not.

    If I experienced an issue like this, I would try and shake any value whatsoever from the Nested Content.

    i.e.:

    var x =  nestedcontentItem.GetPropertyValue<int[]>("alias")

    This should return the ids of the items you're interested in.

    I hope this helps in any sort of a way :)

    It seems that I do not have propertyconverters installed. Only without using a strongly typed,

    e.g. 

    var x = nestedcontentItem.GetPropertyValue("alias")

    i get a result of

    umb://document/36155e35f91d4efda41b5cb4533001d5

    However i thought it was part of the core of umbraco 7?

    By researching further i realized that in my

    umbracoSettings.config, i did not have the following setting in settings > content node:

    <EnablePropertyValueConverters>true</EnablePropertyValueConverters>

    Thank you Rhys for guiding me in the right direction!
